The Universe in a Test Tube
	What better way to understand the universe than to create your very own? Of course, black holes, supernova explosions and Big Bangs are off limits for laboratories on Earth, but helium-3 cooled to only 17,7 degrees Celsius above absolute zero will do just as good in replicating the processes that took place soon after the Big Bang event, leading to the rapid expansion of the universe in space-time and ultimately to the creation of galaxies ...

String Theory Can Be Tested After All!
	They say the string theory is not real science, but merely a science fiction description of the universe. This is mostly due to one thing: the string theory makes predictions than cannot be tested in real life, thus it cannot be proven and is falsifiable. For example, the string theory proposes that elementary particles are not spherical, as suggested in the Standard Model, but they are in fact more like little strings of energy ... [read more >>]

The Universe Might Be Hanging on a String
	String theory predicts that the universe could be populated with entities of pure mass-energy called cosmic strings, which are basically defects in the space-time fabric that are create while spacetime suffers a rapid change in phase. Such changes in phase might have taken place in the early stages of the universe, during the Big Bang. String theory abandons the classical belief that elementary particles are point-like object ...
